Spring Security does not accept correct credentials

Question

I have a web app that uses Spring Security. The user database is a H2 file database. Whenever Spring Security tries to authenticate correct a username/password combination it throws a BadCredentialsExcpetion. If, however, I manually execute the exact same query as Spring Security it successfully finds the user in the table.

SecurityConfiguration.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SpringConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private DataSource dataSource;

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.jdbcAuthentication()
                .dataSource(dataSource)
                .usersByUsernameQuery("SELECT `USERNAME`, `PASSWORD`, `ENABLED` FROM `users` WHERE `USERNAME` = ?")
                .authoritiesByUsernameQuery("SELECT `USERNAME`, `AUTHORITY` FROM `authorities` WHERE `USERNAME` = ?");
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.csrf().disable();
    }

}

AuthenticationServiceImpl.java

@SpringComponent
@ApplicationScope
public class AuthenticationServiceImpl implements AuthenticationService {

    private final AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    @Autowired
    public AuthenticationServiceImpl(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {
        this.authenticationManager = authenticationManager;
    }

    @Override
    public void authenticate(String user, String password) throws BadCredentialsException, AuthenticationException, IOException {
        authenticationManager.authenticate(new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(user, password));
    }

}

I have tried using MySQL instead, but it didn't change anything.

SQL Schema

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `USERNAME` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `PASSWORD` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  `ENABLED` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`USERNAME`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE `authorities` (
  `USERNAME` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `AUTHORITY` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`USERNAME`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Answer 1

The BadCredentialsException means that the user hasnt been found. There is logging in the AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider.java class at debug which will output the username.

Increase the logging and see the username that is coming through - one issue might be the charsets differing as your db is latin1 so it might be creating an issue
